Extension or torsion, left-wound or right-wound, spring replacement is precision work. We calculate the exact spring specification before winding anything into place.
Generic hardware-store springs rarely match the door's true weight. We measure and calculate, not guess.
We won't hide the recommendation to replace both, but the final call on timing is always yours.
This is the one repair where licensing and training genuinely protect you, not just the door.
Higher cycle-rated springs cost a bit more upfront and last considerably longer under daily use.
Each service below is handled by a technician trained specifically for this kind of repair, not a generalist guessing at it.
We calculate the correct torsion spring specification, then use proper winding bars and sequence to install it safely.
Extension springs are replaced in matched pairs with new safety cables, since a mismatched pair throws the door off balance.
A snapped spring means the door won't move safely. We carry multiple spring sizes on every truck for a same-visit fix.
A torsion conversion adds an overhead shaft and drums, trading exposed extension springs for a safer, more durable setup.
Springs rated for 10,000 cycles wear predictably. We'll tell you honestly how much life is left before it becomes an emergency.
Describe the spring symptom, a loud bang, a sagging door, or a door that won't lift, and we'll schedule a technician.
Technicians arrive with multiple spring sizes and wire gauges already stocked, ready for common configurations.
We measure the door weight, wire gauge, and coil diameter, then quote the exact spring spec before work begins.
The door is verified balanced and safe to operate before the job is called complete.
“Diagnosed the exact wire gauge needed and had it on the truck already. No parts run, no delay.”
“Converted our old extension springs to a torsion system. Door is noticeably quieter and smoother now.”
“Balance test after the install showed the door lifts perfectly by hand now, opener disconnected.”
Cost depends on spring type, wire gauge, and whether one or both springs need replacing, confirmed as a flat price before work starts.
Replacing just one often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the cost difference honestly.
This is one of the more dangerous DIY repairs in a home due to the stored energy involved.
Most springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles, roughly seven to nine years of typical daily use.
Yes, an incorrectly sized spring forces the opener motor to compensate, which shortens its lifespan considerably.
Most spring replacements are completed same-day, often within one to two hours once the technician arrives.
